Small bag 32H x 35W x 87L- made in error by the manufacturer -should have been made as the medium one but they did it wrong so have been left with a smaller version. same design but on a smaller scale and without the padded bat pockets. perfect for a junior kit, junior club kit or for coaching kit. Ive used a couple of these for keeping kwik cricket stump sets in.

Bats are custom made mate.
Trust me when I say Johns bats compare with any company charging double his prices.
-
Prices look fantastic, are they for set shapes only or are more custom profiles possible? I'm particularly looking to get an old bat of mine copied with a few small changes over this winter you see.
-
Where can I get pictures/details on the bags ?

Large wheelie is in the Red ink section already. Medium and small wheelies to be added on here in the next couple of days. Drop me a pm if you want to discuss any of them

All bats are included in this, copies, customs or stock shapes.
-
Those prices are stunning! I know that a lot of the big companies have a lot of overhead but they are not in the same league in terms of value!
100 smackers for an english made bat is nuts!!
Keep it up John!
-
Top quality bats at unbelievable prices. Players grade for £170!!! Stunning offer John, should sell like hot cakes.

Forgot to add, leant my red ink to a team mate on Sunday after I got out, he hit his first ever 50 with it. Safe to say he was reluctant to give it back...
-
some pics of the bags would be good if possible, none on the website

A few cleft options available at the moment. a couple have already been reserved but if any catch your eye then let me know. some need a little more cleaning up as they have a few marks from the workshop here and there but some lovely clefts in there.

Sold again. Plenty more to go around though!

Does one set of softs offer better protection than the other i.e. does the LE range of softs offer better protection than the Pyro range or vice-versa?
Thank you.
-
Does one set of softs offer better protection than the other i.e. does the LE range of softs offer better protection than the Pyro range or vice-versa?
Thank you.
Both offer pretty much the same level of protection. Materials used are slightly different so give a different cost option.
-
Been huge amounts of interest in this offer so I am going to keep it going a little bit longer. Thank you to those who have already placed orders, to those who haven't, there is still time.
Still plenty of bags going, softs in some sizes are limited. I have plenty of clefts left so loads to go around. If anyone is looking for a t20 style bat then please let me know. Ive got a harrow width cleft, longer handle, shorter blade ready to go and can be made to your specs.
Get in contact if you need anything.
-
I wish I was at home in England for this offer :(
Any photos of the bags already posted somewhere gents?

Hmm the T20 style sounds interesting and we've shared the odd PM on this subject I'm just unsure the amount of use I'd give it vs the cost. What grade and therefore price point would this be John and excuse my ignorance but how narrower is a harrow width blade to a standard adults? Cheers

about 3mm difference from memory so not a great amount really. no different to a SH bat that's been refurbed.
Grading wise, its a lovely looking cleft. a bit of heartwood on the RH inside edge. Would be a X1 if it wasn't for a tiny pin mark about 2/3 of the way up towards the inner edge. on that basis is will go down as a X2
-
Is the sale offer still on?
If so, you got any nice x3 available?
-
Sale is still on. I do have a few G3 clefts available. Drop me a pm and we can discuss
-
Offers are still going. Bat offer has been really well supported! Bats flying out the door.
Going to offer free uk postage on any bag ordered and paid this weekend
Get in contact!
-
I'm going to keep the sale going a little longer.
If you want to make any sensible offers on the softs or bags then please let me know. Worst I can do is say no.
Still got the t20 style cleft available. I'll offer free uk postage if it goes this weekend. It's pressed and handled with no shaping done so far so can be made to whatever shape/ style you want.
Plenty of other clefts available too
-
What's the price on the t20 cleft ?

Can you please post pics of clefts available?
I'll see what I can do. I am getting a lot of requests for cleft pics from numerous people, some of who then don't reply. This does take some time so it's probably easier to do this on here every now and then.
Give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can do.
-
John can I have the LE small men's gloves with my order mate?
-
John can I have the LE small men's gloves with my order mate?

Grade 3's - one with more grains has a knot in the back which will be near the splice. would have been higher if it wasnt for that.

I'll take the g3 with high grains .
Please send me your PayPal info. Need to be shipped to USA
-
That X* with 2/3 heartwood is very nice! If only I didn't just get one!!
-
John - why is the T20 cleft designated a T20 cleft? Is it thinner, shorter?
-
John - why is the T20 cleft designated a T20 cleft? Is it thinner, shorter?
it had to be trimmed down slightly to remove some minor damage which prevented it from being a full sized/width cleft. theres absolutely nothing wrong with it now, just a bit thinner than standard width so selling it as a t20 harrow width bat similar to the joker.
-
T20 and grainy g3 gone pending receipt of funds
-
Just to confirm. The bat sale has now come to an end. Thank you for all those who have purchased. its been a very busy few weeks. For those that have just ordered, I will be in touch soon with an update on how its progressing.
Soft goods and bags are still on offer at the sale prices in the OP. im happy to knock off a few £ here and there if you are buying multiple items. please get in touch if you need anything.

-

Including the ones Im making and yet to start, it's around 22 off the top of my head. It's great to have another 20 plus bats being used and hopefully scoring runs, smashing them around the nets and putting smiles on the owners faces. Even better if I get some more customers on board from that. A few of those have been new customers but mostly new.
Just the soft goods to go now!
-
Just a reminder to anyone looking for some new softs, the soft sale continues. If you are looking for great softs at a even better price then look no further. Great time to order before Christmas and winter nets.
-
Quick update on this
Large wheelies are all gone. Handful of medium and small wheelies left.
Few pairs of pyro men's rh gloves left
Handful of pairs of men's lh pyro and LE pads and gloves. Great time to grab a bargain for all you lefties out there.
Few wk sets left.
Anyone interested, please let me know. Happy to look at additional reductions for multiple items.
Plenty of clefts in stock if you are looking for a new bat before Christmas. Not on sale, but still a bargain at the forum prices
Thanks
